Local Authority Expenditure Mr. Christopher Price asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to publish the outturn current and total expenditure of each local authority in England for 1981–82. Mr. King It will not be possible to publish this information until my Department has received returns from all authorities. On past evidence, there may still be a few returns outstanding at the end of 1982. Mr. Christopher Price asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the estimated level of (a) current public expenditure survey basis, (b) relevant current rate support grant basis, (c) total for block grant purposes, and (d) relevant expenditure for local authorities in England in total in (i) 1981–82, planned, (ii) 1981–82, original budgets, (iii) 1981–82, revised budgets, (iv) 1982–83, planned, and (v) 1982–83, original budgets. Mr. King Following is the available information for local authorities in England:claim, excluding the effects of holdback, in 1982–83 compared with 1981–82 for every local authority in England. Mr. King I shall write to the hon. Member. Mr. Christopher Price asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish in the Official Report the estimated total of block grant holdback in 1981–82 for local authorities in England, and list those authorities which at the present time are expected to lose grant and the extent of the grant loss for each. Mr. King I refer the hon. Member to the reply my right hon. Friend gave to my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Hemel Hempstead (Mr. Lyell) on 29 July 1982. Mr. Christopher Price asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the holdback of block grant from local authorities in England in 1981–82 has yet taken place. Mr. King No. Mr. Christopher Price asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the holdback of block grant from local authorities in England in 1981–82 has yet taken place. Mr. King No. I expect a supplementary rate support grant report for this purpose to be made in the autumn. Mr. Christopher Price asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish in the Official Report the estimated total of block grant holdback in 1982–83 for local authorities in England, and list those authorities which at the present time are expected to lose grant and the extent of the grant loss for each. Mr. King I refer the hon. Member to the reply my right hon. Friend gave to my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Hemel Hempstead (Mr. Lyell) on 29 July 1982. Mr. Christopher Price asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the estimated entitlement to block grant of every local authority in England, on the basis of information published in the rate support grant report, if it had spent at the level of its grant-related expenditure (a) in 1981–82 and (b) in 1982–83. Mr. King I regret this question could be answered only at disproportionate cost.
